Orissa & Circars

Orissa & Circars is a region of northeastern India, with the capital at Cuttack.

History
Orissa & Circars was originally a region of the Mughal Empire made up of 1,084,053 people (60.6% Hindu, 39.4% Islam). The region's resources were predominantly mining and industry, although farming was also a resource. In summer of 1704 the region became a province of the Maratha Confederacy after the capture of Cuttack. It was vital for trading, and rioted twice during the 1710s and 1720s due to industrialization.
